Why Republican Politicians Don't Care About Childrens' Welfare (Other than the welfare of their own children)

Children can't vote. That's the beginning and end of
it. Quit listening to what Republicans say and watch
what they do.
Bush, Barbour, Cochran, and Lott can count the votes. That's all that matters to them.
Update 10/18/2007 20:02: The House of Representatives failed to override Bush's veto of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act.
Rep. Bennie Thompson did the right thing and voted to override the veto.
Robo-republicans Wicker and Pickering predictably voted to sustain the veto, but amazingly Gene Taylor, a Democrat, also voted to sustain. How representatives from the poorest state in the U.S. can square their consciences voting for gigantic tax cuts for the rich and an illegal and costly war but not for the health of Mississippi's children is a mystery.
But children can't vote. That's all that matters to them. They apparently have no consciences to square.
